Charles' 40th Birthday Party

On October 10th, 2013, Charles turned 40! I decided to celebrate this milestone with a big party with our friends & family. We had the party the weekend prior to his birthday since he was taking a motorcycle trip with some friends to Barber Motor Sports in Birmingham, Alabama. He left early on his birthday (Thursday) & came back Sunday night. (It was a thousand miles round trip.) He had a great time & really enjoyed watching the vintage motorcycle races & touring the motorcycle & race car museum. His brother, Robert, also made the trip.

I had an event planner, Melissa Galloway, help with the party & after talking to her we decided to use his love of his BMW racecar as the theme for the party. She created the invitations & all the decorations. We had food from one of our favorite restaurants & a DJ which made the night really fun. We had about 40 people at the party & we all had a great time. Happy 40th Birthday Charles!

The party was held around the pool at our community clubhouse- here's some of the decorations Melissa put around the pool.
